Casa di Pietra by Stay Awhile Villas

Summary:

A Stone Sanctuary Above the Pacific. Perched along one of Malibu’s most dramatic stretches of coastline, Casa di Pietra feels less like a vacation rental and more like a private Mediterranean estate transported to California’s golden coast. Wrapped in handcrafted stone and overlooking the endless blue of the Pacific Ocean, the villa occupies a rare blufftop setting where the rhythm of the waves becomes the soundtrack to every moment.



The Space:

From the moment you arrive through the private motor court, the home reveals itself slowly—warm stone walls, sweeping ocean vistas, and the unmistakable feeling that you have discovered a place both timeless and extraordinary.



Designed to celebrate Malibu’s seamless indoor-outdoor lifestyle, Casa di Pietra unfolds across terraces, lawns, and gathering spaces that seem suspended above the sea. The expansive rooftop terrace offers one of the property’s most unforgettable vantage points—an elevated perch where sunset dinners unfold against a horizon that melts into the Pacific. Down below, outdoor lounges and dining spaces invite long afternoons of conversation, ocean breezes, and the quiet luxury of simply being present.



An alfresco kitchen and entertaining area anchor the outdoor experience, while a striking stone fireplace becomes the natural gathering place once the sun slips beneath the water. Adirondack chairs positioned along the bluff invite guests to watch dolphins glide past, surfers tracing lines across the waves below, and Malibu’s legendary sunsets painting the sky.



Inside, the villa’s architecture reflects a sophisticated balance of coastal elegance and old-world craftsmanship. Rich stone textures, expansive glass openings, and thoughtfully designed living spaces frame the ocean from nearly every angle, creating an atmosphere that feels both refined and deeply connected to the surrounding landscape.



Yet what truly defines Casa di Pietra is its setting. Few homes offer this degree of privacy while remaining moments from Malibu’s most iconic destinations—from Nobu and Soho House to scenic drives along the Pacific Coast Highway and the quiet beaches that define this legendary stretch of California coastline.



Whether hosting unforgettable sunset dinners on the rooftop terrace, gathering around the outdoor fire beneath a canopy of stars, or simply waking to the sound of waves below the cliffs, Casa di Pietra offers something increasingly rare: a sense of escape that feels both luxurious and deeply authentic to Malibu itself.



Professionally managed by Stay Awhile Villas, Malibu’s premier luxury vacation rental company, every stay is elevated by personalized service, concierge experiences, and the confidence that every detail has been thoughtfully considered.
